@Kavas - Ok boss...if you are going to start crimping lots of terminals......get a pair of these....

They ratchet, so you can set the pin in the connector, tighten to the first click, to hold it in, and then have time, and hand free to properly insert the wire and crimp properly. Terminal crimping is an art, honestly, and it's worth devoting the time to get the right tools, and do it correctly.
This guys crimps are a bit different, but the video and science are sound.
As for the speaker wires...."2 becomes 4" underneath the black edge connector, that your jamma loom card slots into. There are 2 lines a + and a -, and those lines get multiplied into 4 +'s and 3 -'s with some clear/white bean crimps, behind that black connector. 2 +'s and 2 -'s get sent up in a red 4position housing, up to the speakers, where each speaker gets a pair, per normal *There is another break in this line, with red housings installed, up near the speakers, for easy removal of the "head" that has the speakers and florescent fixture*. The other 2 +'s and one -, go to the three position red housing, and from there, to a white 3pin JST connector in the control panel, which is for the headphone amp/adapter circuitry.
Changing wiring up to handle Mono/Stereo AND Line level/Amp Audio gets more complicated than I'd ever want to hack in on a cabinet that doesn't have it already. I have already had to repair the audio panel from an E3/AWSD that someone chopped all connectors on, and pin it back into a harness I bought. That was enough nightmare for me....3 volume pots, stereo/mono switch, daisy chained wiring....it sucked. My Aero is handling classics, jamma multi pcb's like the bitkit/jrok, and the occasional classic pcb/jamma adapter. There's no need for me to hack mine.
Hope all this info helps.
